Lyle Lovett - My Baby Don't Tolerate guitar chord

My Baby Don’t Tolerate

By Lyle Lovett

G

A friend of mine, he said to me, a skinny girl is a misery

G

I shook my head cause I knew he couldn’t be right

Bb C

That’s when I thought back to just last night

G

When I got home, it was maybe a little late

G

There was ne’r a crumb on ne’r a plate

G

There was no martini, no glass of grape

Bb C

It was then I sought to contemplate

*On the word "tolerate" in the chorus for the first 2 lines, it's hard to tell

if there is an actual chord change or is he vocally sliding the note up.*

Chorus:

G Bb C

Some things my baby don’t tolerate, no

G Bb C

My baby don’t tolerate, no

G Bb C G

My baby don’t tolerate from me

I said hello honey, how have you been

She said what could you have possibly have been doing until half past then

And not being completely insensitive I could tell my ship had run aground

Cause when I puckered up she puckered down

Chorus

Solo

Now a small more ordinary man might not appreciate the guidance of a good woman that truly loves him

He might drift in despair during the ignorant, dumb misdoings of his dirty daily existence

But that’s not me, no yessirreee

I’m proof that true love will set you free

Chorus
